Garmin's Forerunner 70 finally goes on sale months after launch

Garmin's Forerunner 70 is the budget-friendly running watch we've been waiting for. A proper successor to the old but gold Forerunner 55, it brings a much-needed refresh to Garmin's entry-level lineup. Best part about it? You can finally get it at a lower price at Amazon. 

Even though the model launched back in May, its first-ever discount lands just now, bringing the price down by 9%. Sure, we're not talking about a major discount, but given that the wearable usually costs around $250, it's still worth checking out. 

• By the way, the Garmin Vivoactive 5 is another hot pick right now, offered with a generous 37% discount. 

The Forerunner 70 may be Garmin's most affordable watch for runners, but it comes with some truly impressive features. For starters, you're getting Garmin Coach to help you train for a fitness event or improve your overall performance.

The model also packs a quick workout feature that lets you create custom running routines straight from your wearable. Extras like training readiness and sleep score are all on deck as well, while everything stays perfectly legible on the wearable's vibrant AMOLED touchscreen.

If you ask me, the main selling point of this timepiece isn't the number of features. It's actually the ultra-long battery life. With Garmin claiming it can last as many as 13 days, this budget-friendly model lasts way longer than the Galaxy Watch 9.

Ultimately, the Garmin Forerunner 70 may not be the best wearable for runners, but it's a budget-friendly wearable that actually keeps up with your pace. If that sounds good enough to you, now's the time to upgrade. 

Just a heads up: Amazon is only discounting the model in Black by 9%. Although I say for certain, when the retailer puts just one color on sale, it usually means the promo won't stick around for long. Don't waste time and save big while you still can.
